Container Gardening

So you want to have a garden but maybe live in a condo, apartment or other housing with out an outside space. Or you may simply want to start off with a small, easy to manage garden. If this sounds like you then container gardening may be just the thing.

A window sill, a patio, a balcony or a doorstep will provide ample space for a productive mini-garden. Problems with soilborne diseases or poor soil conditions can be easily overcome by switching to a container garden and pest management is easier. Remember to pick plants that will do well with the amount of sun they will get every day. Always remember to check on how dry the soil is getting as containers tend to dry out much faster and you can check into using a watering ball to ensure things don't dry up and die or if you will be away for a few days.
